...student body alike, was given in the 1928-29 Athletic Report by Mr. Bingham, when he said that "more and more we are happily getting away from the too serious side of intercollegiate athletics. Mass meetings have become obsolete, and I hope we shall never return to these archaic customs...
Crisis came when Elizabeth Christman. secretary-treasurer of National Women's Trade Union League, arose with a resolution to revamp the Federation's traditional but awkward and archaic structure.

Today beloved Stanley Baldwin lives in No. 11 with the determined woman who would never let him resign, good Mrs. Lucy Baldwin whose archaic hats are as famed as the Queen's. That her husband is, not Prime Minister* as would normally be the case with the leader of a party which holds an overwhelming majority-but the holder of a mere sinecure in the Cabinet, is to pious Mrs. Baldwin only...
